Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12N1X470S10AH
The AirTAC Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12N1X470S10AH is a miniature linear guide on a 12 mm stainless-steel rail with recirculating-ball carriage. It is the small end of the range, for light-duty precision positioning in a tight envelope — compact stages, small pick-and-place heads and inspection fixtures.

About the Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12N1X470S10AH
LRM12N1X470S10AH is a complete AirTAC miniature linear guide set: a single 470 mm length of 12 mm wide stainless-steel rail carrying one standard-length recirculating-ball carriage, with no preload, high (H) accuracy and a 10 mm end-hole offset, fixed from the top. Rail and carriage ship assembled as one piece; screws and shims are yours to supply.
A 470 mm rail runs a little under half of the 1005 mm catalogue full length for size 12, so you get this travel from one continuous machined section with no splice joint to align. Along the run, the outer cover keeps debris off the seal strip and hides the screws, the double-lip seal holds grease in and dust out, and the recirculating balls are Japanese-made ISO 3290 G10 - a grade for the balls, not an accuracy rating for the guide. Ball retention limits but does not eliminate the chance of dropped balls during fitting, so work carefully at assembly. Keep ambient temperature at or below 80 C, peaks to 100 C. Load and moment ratings are confirmed per model rather than published; send the RFQ and we will confirm this one's figures.

Where the Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12N1X470S10AH Is Used
PCB edge-inspection scan rail
Scanning camera travel along the long edge of a printed circuit board fits a 470 mm stroke; a single continuous rail keeps the optical axis straight across the whole run with no joint to bump over.
Small-part sorting head slide
A compact pick-and-place head shuttling between feed lanes over roughly half a metre benefits from the free-running A preload, where cycle speed matters more than rigidity against overturning.
Benchtop feeder positioning axis
Advancing components or test coupons under a benchtop station across 470 mm is a natural long-rail job, and the outer cover keeps swarf and spilled parts off the seal strip along the exposed run.
Is the Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12N1X470S10AH the Right Guide?
Travel first, then series. If 470 mm is not enough, size 12 catalogue rails run to 1005 mm, and longer runs are built as spliced two-section rails - note those are accuracy H only and must be assembled joint-mark to joint-mark with matched serial pairs. If the load is heavy or overhung, step to LSH for its published per-carriage dynamic, static and moment ratings; for short, stiff crossed-roller travel, LGC is the cross-grade choice.
Then confirm the code itself: complete set form, 12 mm width, standard carriage, one carriage, 470 mm length, preload A (freest running, easiest to align), accuracy H, top-mount, plus a load rating we confirm for you before ordering. Mounting surfaces must be ground or finish-milled to achieve the rated travel accuracy, and with one carriage there is only one datum face to set - pick a side and machine to it.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Complete set, carriage only, or rail only?
- ✓ Load and moment confirmed with us
- ✓ Travel length and mounting space
- ✓ Accuracy grade and preload
- ✓ Mounting surface ground or finish-milled
- ✓ Pairing code, if replacing a part
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Mounting surface must be ground or finish-milled.
- check Torque the rail screws per the recommended figures, in sequence.
- check Keep the mounting corner radius inside the stated R maximum.
- check Do not angle the carriage onto the rail; balls can drop out.
- check Drive the supplied bolt caps into the mounting holes.
- check Re-grease every 100 km of travel or every 3–6 months.
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12N1X470S10AH FAQ
Published: 12 mm rail width, 470 mm rail length, one standard carriage, no preload (grade A), high accuracy H and top-mount fixing, 10 mm end-hole offset. Also published: screw torques of 58.8 N.cm for M2 into steel (39.2 cast iron, 29.4 aluminium) and 196 N.cm for M3 into steel (127 cast iron, 98 aluminium), an 80 C ambient ceiling with 100 C peaks, and a re-grease interval of 100 km of travel or 3 to 6 months. Not published: dynamic, static and moment load ratings for LRM. Those we confirm per model - send the RFQ and we will return the figures.
Well. Size 12 dominates our stocked LRM range - 924 of the 988 complete sets we hold - and lengths from 40 mm to 995 mm sit on the shelf in 102 distinct steps, so a 470 mm top-mount set with standard carriage, no preload and H accuracy is squarely in fast-moving territory. Everything ships plain finish; black chrome, rail-only stock and bolt-cap packs are order-in items, and LRM5, LRM7 and LRM9 are not stocked at all. One thing we will not quote from a table: load and moment ratings, which are not published for LRM and are confirmed per model when you send the RFQ.
